DoorKing Inc. was established in 1948 and is one of the countries leading manufactures of innovative products for the access control industry. DoorKing manufactures a full line of access control products including automatic gate operators, telephone entry systems, telephone intercom systems, high security wireless access control devices, digital entry systems, single and multi-door card access systems and various other access control products. The company also distributes a full line of magnetic locks, electric dead bolts and electric door strikes. The company has been awarded 19 patents on its innovative designs and has other patents pending.

Our vehicular gate operator line includes residential, commercial and industrial models that are compliant with the U.L. 325 and U.L. 991 Safety Standards and are ETL Listed. The "6000 Series" swing gate operators, "9000 Series" slide gate operators and the "1600 Series" barrier gate operators are designed for easy installation and feature our plug-in vehicle loop detector system that eliminates messy wiring. Most operator models feature our unique Gate Tracker™ reporting system that sends gate operator data to a companion DoorKing access control system. Gate Tracker provides maintenance personnel with important gate operator information and allows them to troubleshoot a gate system remotely. An important addition to a vehicular gate access system is our Model 2000 power inverter and backup system. The model 2000 converts DC battery power to AC power and maintains gate system operation during power outages.

DoorKing's "1800 Series" telephone entry systems are FCC (U.S.) and DOC (Canada) registered, are compliant with the U.L 294 Safety Standard and are ETL Listed. These systems include many standard features that other manufacturers offer as optional upgrades. These features include the ability for multiple entry systems to share the same telephone line, an important feature if more than one entry point is to be controlled, remote programming capability from a touch tone telephone, 10 and 11 digit dialing capability, and programmable four digit keyless entry codes to allow resident and vendor access. Certain models can be programmed remotely from a PC and include transaction buffers that can be down loaded to a PC for analysis. Additionally, these systems can be expanded to control up to 16 entry points and offer an elevator control option. All of our telephone entry systems are designed for hands free operation, but can be ordered with a handset if required for the application. The systems are available in three basic configurations: surface mount for direct outdoor applications, flush mount, and wall mount. The flush and wall mount units are designed for applications where the system is protected from direct exposure to driven rain and snow. When specifying a telephone entry system, it is very important that the system uses full duplex communication. Full duplex communication provides for the same trouble free style of communication that we are all used to when making a telephone call. Telephone entry systems that use half duplex (or simplex) style of communication only allow one person to talk at a time, essentially switching the microphone and speaker on and off. This can create confusion and "lock-up." Lock-up occurs when the microphone in the system turns on and is locked on because of high background noise levels. This lock-up prevents two-way communication from occurring. The only way to assure that lock-up will not occur is to specify a system that uses full duplex communication, as do all of DoorKing's telephone entry systems.

The "1816 " telephone intercom, or "No Phone Line" system is becoming very popular in apartment building, college resident halls and multi-unit residential housing applications. This system will perform as an intercom system, but utilizes the buildings existing telephone wiring and the residents telephone to provide communication to and control of a door or gate entry point. Additionally, the 1816 system does not require a dedicated telephone line, thus eliminating monthly line access charges and equipment lease payments to the telephone company. This system is used in both up scale multi-unit residential applications and low income housing, and government housing authority projects because the system will provide communication to residents who do not have central office telephone service. In addition, the system provides "call waiting" for those residents who do have central office service. Like all other DoorKing telephone systems, the telephone intercom system includes many standard features and uses full duplex communication for clear voice communication. The DoorKing telephone intercom system is a modular designed product that can provide high quality two-way voice communication for up to 3132 residents. A variety of front "lobby" panels are available, including vandal resistant panels for housing authority projects.

For residential use, DoorKing's model 1812 telephone intercom system operates in the same manner as the 1816, but is designed for single line applications. In addition to call waiting, the 1812 features a call forwarding and has a built-in time clock that allows the homeowner to time zone various functions of the 1812.

The model 1818 multi-door access controller is a PC based system that allows users to program card, transmitter or PIN (Personal Identification Number) codes remotely using a PC, and is ideal to use in applications where control and accountability are a necessity, but voice communications are not required. The 1818 controls two separate entry points and can be expanded to control up to 16 entry points. An elevator control option is also available. The 1818 includes the DoorKing Remote Account Manager software.

Card reader systems offer the advantage of having each card coded with its own unique code and assigned to a certain individual. That card could then be monitored, time zone restricted, and deleted from the system if it were ever lost or stolen. To meet different job requirements and customer preference, DoorKing has available proximity readers and touch plate readers. These different card technologies can be interfaced with the 1818 controller or the models1803PC, 1815 and 1817 telephone entry systems.

For customers who require the security of a card readers system, but prefer the convenience of a hand held transmitter system, DoorKing offers a variety of products that will interface with the1803PC, 1815 and 1817 telephone entry systems, and the 1818 system, in addition to devices that can be used as stand alone type systems. Each DoorKing MicroPLUS© transmitter is pre-coded at our factory to one in over 268 million (268,000,000) codes, making the possibility of duplication virtually non-existent. In addition, MicroPLUS controls use our unique encrypted sync-code technology that causes the transmitter code to change each time it is used. This feature makes copied transmitter codes useless and assures the highest degree of security possible. These small transmitters, designed to be placed on a key ring or visor, measure only 1 1/2 x 2 inches, and are available in 1, 2, and 3 button configurations. The model 8056 RF receiver is used when transmitter access will be used with the1803PC, 1815 or 1817 telephone entry systems, or the 1818 remote controller. The model 8054 RF receiver is a basic stand-alone device that can store up to 1250 transmitter codes and provides a dry contact relay output.
